For you John, 44 years later…
My website for John Lennon was ranked first in “Don’t be evil” Google for more than a decade
before Google dropped the “don’t be” and became evil Google and made my website invisible.
Yoko Ono even mailed me a note to thank me for having such a wonderful website for John.

The Beatles, John Lennon, And December 8, 1980
by Mark R. Elsis
https://December81980.com (The URL when I publish)
John Lennon was the greatest singer-songwriter and the most influential political artist of the twentieth century. His assassination happened because he was about to become political again for the first time in over eight years.
Just before 10:50 pm est, on Monday, December 8, 1980, while walking into the Dakota, his home on the Upper West Side of Manhattan, New York City, John was assassinated. I arrived at the Dakota at 11:45 pm and stayed there for the next nine hours.
On Saturday evening, November 22, 1980, five days after the release of John Lennon’s first new studio album in 69 months, Double Fantasy, I was at the local Irish tavern, the Gaslight Inn, in Elmhurst. It was there and then that I had precognition and told a few of my closest friends John Lennon was about to be assassinated. I went on to say that the powers that be were going to blame it on a lone crazy deranged fan and that this person would never have a trial.
I do not know how I knew all of this would come to be, except to say that besides my parents, John Lennon, someone whom I had never met, was the most significant person in my life. Perhaps because of my lifelong adoration, I was tapped into a precognitive form of what Dr. Rupert Sheldrake postulated in his theory, Morphic Resonance.
I have had many other episodes of clairvoyance throughout my life. But none have been as prophetic and tragic as the one when I foresaw the assassination of John Lennon.

“By morning, the gates of the Dakota looked like the wall of a Mexican church, or an instant Lourdes, covered with a collage of flowers, messages, photographs, drawings. The crowd had been brought together as if to some new Holy Place, expressing a deep primitive need to mourn. The mourners were not kids, either. I saw men in raincoats come by carrying briefcases, sealed into lives of business and marriage, the sixties part of some golden adolescence, and one at a time, they stood there on the corner, out of the vision of the TV cameras, and, like the people of the night before, wept openly while Beatles music played from dozens of radios. The music seemed elegiac now, all those songs that never went away and probably never will. But now one thing was absolutely certain: John Lennon was dead, and so were the Beatles. They would never come back now. They would never fill a stadium again, never journey all the way back to the years when they changed the English-speaking world and the rest of the world that didn’t know the meaning of Yeh, yeh, yeh.”

Another excerpt from my yet to be published 100+ page timeline:
The Beatles, John Lennon, And December 8, 1980
Now some closing thoughts and troubling questions from me:
May I add, that yes, there were three bullet holes in the glass (see photograph below), the one that completely missed John, and two that went clean through him. Another bullet that hit John also went through him, but was caught in his jacket, the fourth stayed in his body. John had seven entry and exit wounds.
Chapman was supposedly using hollow-point bullets when he shot Lennon. This type of bullet usually doesn’t go through a body. It enters and expands, causing maximum damage.
So, how did three of the four hollow-point bullets that struck John, go clean through him, when this type of bullet is specifically designed not to do that?
Also, the forensic pathologist called the wounds, group shot, meaning that the bullet wounds were spaced close together, also noted was their proximity to vital organs.
What’s most important is the following statement by Dr. David Halleran that contradicts the entry wounds from the back, saying they were the exit wounds. He also says the injuries on Lennon came from being fired from a close range.
Dr. David Halleran, the surgeon who tried to save John Lennon’s life, recalls the events of December 8, 1980: “I poured (the antiseptic) Betadine on his chest, and opened up his chest. His heart was intact, but empty. He had a lot of blood in his thorax. And he had four entrance wounds over his left chest, and three exit wounds over his left back. Shot at close range.
I tend to believe the attending doctor who worked on John Lennon, over the New York Times reporter, Paul Montgomery.
If Chapman shot Lennon at close range, as Dr. Halleren states, this means John was further away from the lobby, where Patrolman Peter Cullen found John. Cullen corroborated these facts to me when I interviewed him, saying he was the first police officer to see Lennon, and he found him in the lobby.
So, if Chapman shot John, how did he walk the 20 feet or so, and then climb the stairs up to the lobby, with seven entry and exit wounds through his chest?
He couldn’t have.
Mark David Chapman didn’t assassinated John Lennon.


“You gotta remember, establishment, it’s just a name for evil.
The monster doesn’t care whether it kills all the students or whether there’s a revolution.
It’s not thinking logically, it’s out of control.”

Twist And Shout (4:12)
Live At The Royal Variety Performance, London, November 4, 1963
On November 4, 1963, The Beatles play at the Royal Variety Performance in London. This was the night of The Beatles’ famous appearance at the Royal Command Performance at the Prince of Wales Theatre in London, in the presence of the Queen Mother and Princess Margaret. Just before singing Twist and Shout, a sheepish yet quite audacious John Lennon made the following controversial remark: “For our last number I’d like to ask your help. Will the people in the cheaper seats clap your hands. And the rest of you, if you’d just rattle your jewelry. Thank you, we’d like to sing a song called, Twist And Shout.”

The Beatles’ First Ed Sullivan Show
February 9, 1964, was the date of The Beatles’ record-breaking first live appearance on The Ed Sullivan Show, at Studio 50 in New York City. Seventy-three million people were reported to have watched the first show. It is still supposed to be one of the largest viewing audiences ever in the States.
“It was very important. We came out of nowhere with funny hair, looking like marionettes or something. That was very influential. I think that was really one of the big things that broke us – the hairdo more than the music, originally. A lot of people’s fathers had wanted to turn us off. They told their kids, ‘Don’t be fooled, they’re wearing wigs.’ A lot of fathers did turn it off, but a lot of mothers and children made them keep it on. All these kids are now grown-up, and telling us they remember it. It’s like, ‘Where were you when Kennedy was shot?’ I get people like Dan Aykroyd saying, ‘Oh man, I remember that Sunday night; we didn’t know what had hit us – just sitting there watching Ed Sullivan’s show.’ Up until then there were jugglers and comedians like Jerry Lewis, and then, suddenly, The Beatles!”

December 8, 1980

It was about 11:45 pm when I arrived, and there was already a group of one hundred or so people gathered. I double-parked my Peugeot 504 taxi just about twenty feet West of the archway, in front of the Dakota, on the North side on 72nd Street.

I opened the sunroof of my taxi and placed a portable speaker on the roof so people could hear WNEW-FM live. Soon dozens, then hundreds, then thousands, of people had journeyed from every direction and gathered outside of the Dakota.

I know about these thousands of people coming to pay their respects, pray, and grieve the tragic loss of John Lennon in the middle of the night, because I stayed in front of the Dakota for the next nine hours. When I finally left at 8:45 am, there were thousands of people gathered to say goodbye to John. Yes, I stayed for exactly nine hours, longer than anyone else, to honor John, and also because I knew he loved the number nine.

It was beyond heartbreakingly sad for me to witness, but my little voice told me to stay there and bare witness to this mourning and outpouring of love for John.


At any one time during the night, there were dozens of grown men and women openly weeping as if they had just lost a family member to a violent death. I noticed that this happened as soon as they reached the front of the Dakota. They couldn’t hold their sorrow and grief in any longer, and would burst into tears, as did I, when I first arrived.


By the time I left at 8:45 am the crowd in front of the Dakota had swelled to a couple of thousand paying tribute to John, and the number of people openly crying had increased commensurately.

On February 14, 2007, in the living room of Phil Spector’s Pyrenees Castle,
Phillip gave me, Mark R. Elsis, a four-hour interview.
I was the first to be given an in-depth interview with Phillip in thirty years.
He did it for my film, Strawberry Fields Keeping the Spirit of John Lennon Alive.
Thank you Phillip, Requiescat In Pace.
https://PhilSpector.com


Phillip told me many wonderful stories about John Lennon and The Beatles for my film.
The following story was not included in my film, yet I’ve always found it interesting:


Phillip told me that he was always terribly fearful of traveling by plane. It was early February 1964, and he was in England but needed to return to the United States. So, he booked a particular flight scheduled to leave on February 7, 1964, the Pan Am Yankee Clipper flight 101, from Heathrow to the newly named John F. Kennedy Airport (JFK). The Beatles were to be on this Boeing 707 that would take them to New York City and begin their historic conquest of America. Phillip said this was why he took that specific flight, for he knew God would never let anything disastrous happen to that plane because The Beatles were on it. On that day, the phenomenon known as Beatlemania started in the United States.

Something

Meetings and Stories, Chapter 7


It was not too long after the assassination of John Lennon. I was driving my taxi, going west on 72nd Street, approaching Park Avenue, when the light at the intersection turned red. I was waiting behind many cars for the light to change when I saw a vision of beauty from afar, with her hand raised. When she realized I was available, she lowered her hand and began to walk toward my taxi.


As she walked closer, there was something exceedingly special about her energy. Each day, I saw countless beautiful women while driving my taxi in Manhattan, but this woman was adorable and enchanting. I didn’t have any idea of who she was.


This gorgeous being got in, sat down, and the exact moment she shut the door, the song “Something” began playing on the radio. She told me her destination, then promptly told me George wrote this song on the back of an envelope like Lincoln supposedly did with the Gettysburg Address. I turned around and said, Pattie, Pattie Boyd? She said yes, I’m Pattie Boyd. I didn’t say anything else while “Something” was playing.

Another excerpt from my yet to be published 100+ page timeline:
The Beatles, John Lennon, And December 8, 1980
During the John Lennon Memorial In Central Park on Sunday December 14, 1980, a miracle occurred.
Yoko asked the world to participate in a public and private 10-minute silence to honor the spirit of John Lennon on Sunday, December 14, 1980. Around the world hundreds of millions of people grieved together.
There were around 200,000 people under mostly clear skies at the John Lennon memorial and ten minute silent vigil held in Central Park. When seemingly out of nowhere a mini-blizzard of snow manifested. I wasn’t was not there, for I had worked very late the night before and decided to sleep through it and see if I could tap into something deeper.
Then over the next few weeks, and months, and even years, something incredibly strange repeatedly happened to me while driving my taxi in Manhattan. People would tell me that they were at the John Lennon memorial in Central Park, and that the craziest thing occurred, with pretty much a blue sky above, suddenly there was a blizzard.
I didn’t ask these people, they just told me, as if I had to know about this miraculous event that they had witnessed. Each person said the same thing, and all of them with a certain level of astonishment in their voice while recollecting what seemed like an unbelievable miracle to them.
This didn’t happen once or twice to me, it happened five or more times. By the time last person told me this, it was many years after December 14, 1980.

Rethinking John Lennon’s Assassination (A Great Book)
The FBI’s War On Rock Stars
The true perpetrators always show themselves through their actions and deeds,

and they were so frightened by the truth in this book, that they had it completely banned.
It has also been censored completely from the Internet, except for Archive.org.
“…It is difficult to criticize the official explanation of what happened to John Lennon because a universally accepted version does not exist. There was no trial, no testimonies, no witnesses. The police report was certainly of little value and the autopsy report is suppressed from public view….Most of the public’s perception of Chapman is hocus-pocus nonsense, half-truths, media spin, and the power of suggestion. A patsy was needed to take the blame for murdering Lennon, so Chapman was set up to take the fall….”

An excerpt from Rethinking John Lennon’s Assassination.

To recap, I believe the Western powers were troubled by Lennon because (1) he shifted public opinion against America’s involvement in the Vietnam War, (2) he had a huge worldwide following, (3) he was irreverent, even disrespectful, toward Jews and the period known as the Holocaust, (4) he came out of a self-imposed five-year retirement in 1980, and (5) he was the de facto King of Sixties rock ‘n’ roll, whereas, Elvis was King of the same genre during the Fifties. Of the five reasons listed, the third-disrespect for Jews and the Holocaust-is probably the least known to the public but likely the most troublesome for John Lennon. Although Lennon is widely known for criticizing Christianity, he was not exactly viewed as a gift from God to most Jewish leaders either. Keep in mind that Lennon had many close German friends and spent quite a bit of time in Germany before he became an international star.

Some people-in my opinion-are confused about Lennon’s motivation for writing Imagine. They read more into the song than he intended. Some think it is Communist or Socialist propaganda. Hence, people like this find it difficult to believe Lennon had a degree of empathy for Germany and its actions during World War II. This is the problem with labels.

Regardless of Lennon’s seemingly left-wing views, he was not truly a friend of Jews; at least not all Jews. Although John Lennon had many Jewish business associates, he clearly held certain Jews in low esteem and did not hesitate to express his views publicly. In the latter days of the Beatles, John nearly agreed to allow John Eastman-Paul McCartney’s Jewish brother-in-law and attorney to manage the quartet. (Brian Epstein, the Beatles first manager, died in 1967 of a supposed drug overdose.) But after meeting Eastman, Lennon withdrew his support because of Eastman’s abrasive demeanor. Lennon sarcastically labeled Eastman’s communication skills during their first meeting as an “epileptic fit.” Lennon made the following remarks about Eastman’s ethnicity in a 1970 interview with Rolling Stone:

They’re fucking bastards, they’re, and Eastman’s a WASP Jew, man! And that’s the worst kind of Jew on earth, that’s the worst kind of WASP too-he’s a WASP Jew, can you imagine it!

Ironically, all of Lennon’s managers were Jewish. The Beatles original manager, Brian Epstein, was Jewish. So was Alan Klein who became Epstein’s replacement, much to the chagrin of McCartney and his brother-in-law. Based on his comments about Eastman, it appears that Lennon viewed all Jews with a degree of contempt, but apparently wanted one to handle his business affairs because as I pointed out in the Introduction the entertainment industry in America is run almost exclusively by Jews. Lennon apparently understood this.

The Holocaust Propaganda Campaign

My research indicates that a huge propaganda campaign began in 1978-two years before Lennon’s murder-to “re-educate” the public about the period from 1938 through 1945 known as the Holocaust. In fact the word Holocaust-as a description of events associated with Jews in Nazi Germany-was introduced in 1978 in the TV mini-series, The Holocaust, directed by Marvin Chomsky and starred Meryl Streep and James Woods.

Before 1978, the term Holocaust was not associated with Nazi Germany and Jews. In 1976, William Stevenson wrote a book, A Man Called Intrepid, which discussed the deaths of six million Jews during World War II a great deal, but Stevenson never used the term Holocaust because that term had not been introduced to the public in 1976.

The Holocaust propaganda campaign continues today. When Lennon came out or retirement in 1980, it is not unreasonable to believe that leaders of worldwide Jewry might be concerned that an untamed John Lennon back in the limelight would spoil their plans. Years earlier Lennon revealed his empathy for Germany in the 1967 movie, How I Won the War.

In 1971, John and Yoko moved to New York City. Lennon later told an interviewer, “I landed in New York City and the first people who got in touch with me were Jerry Rubin and Abbie Hoffman” two Chicago Seven Conspiracy Trial defendants. Based on my research of the FBI, I suspect Rubin and Hoffman were provocateurs for the Bureau.

Their mission was probably to get Lennon interested in extreme leftist causes, thereby creating a pretext for the FBI to launch a massive surveillance campaign on him. It has been widely documented that the FBI did in fact conduct an extensive monitoring and surveillance operation on Lennon, complete with wiretaps and voluminous FBI reports.

By 1975 Lennon had apparently caught onto Rubin’s and Hoffman’s tricks. “I never hear from them,” he told an interviewer. “They vanished into the woodwork…Jerry was been nothing but trouble and a pain in the neck since I met him. I decided, as he didn’t lead the revolution, I decided to quit answering the phone.”

Given Lennon’s public statements about Jews, it seems that his decision to move to New York City, the most heavily populated Jewish cities in the world, might have been bad judgment.

The Manhattan District Attorney, Robert M. Morgenthau, is Jewish and has been the DA since 1975. Some 550 assistant DAs report to him. Ed Koch, also Jewish, was mayor of New York City from 1978 through 1989 and was mayor when Lennon was assassinated.

Does anyone honestly think Morgenthau (who’s father created the Morgenthau Plan, which was a genocide of Germans, mostly civilians, at the end and after World War II) or Koch would bend over backwards trying to solve the murder of John Lennon, a man who publicly expressed a lifelong admiration for Adolf Hitler, and contempt for Jews?


John “Adolf” Hitler

Let’s deal first with the drawings. These are now considered explosive. John executed them during his Art School period, roughly late 1950s, say 1958ish. Some probably earlier, say 1956/7. They are drawn and doodled on his ringed sketchbook. The ‘style’ is typical of the very early Lennon before his now well known ‘comic line style’. Notwithstanding, we can see in them the early development of this style rapidly emerging. I’ll go into my ‘valuer mode’ to examine them, page by page.

The most significant is obviously the pen and ink drawing of John taking the salute in Adolf Hitler style on a podium with the cries of “Heil John, Heil John,” from the invisible crowd below. It’s a fine, and very rare self-portrait, confidently line executed. It obviously bears close similarity with the self portrait he executed on the hand-made Christmas card for Cynthia in the Christie’s sale and drawn in the same confident manner, albeit in ‘line-out form’. It’s that image though which is so arresting. John Lennon seeing himself as Adolf Hitler. Not only does it express the youthful John’s almost adoration but also perhaps his inspiration. Adolf Hitler as hero of the people.

Author Fenton Bresler Discusses John Lennon’s Assassination And His 1989 Book ‘Who Killed John Lennon’ (Transcript and Audio 33:29)
In a rare 1989 interview, British author and barrister Fenton Bresler, discusses John Lennon’s Assassination and his 1989 book ‘Who Killed John Lennon’. Fenton Bresler and Mae Brussell were pioneering first-generation John Lennon assassination researchers. Bresler missed crucial medical evidence, but was convinced that Chapman was a programmed Manchurian Candidate. A prickly man of the law, Bresler was no fan of John Lennon or his music. But after attending an early New York hearing for Mark Chapman, Bresler was subsequently appalled at the lack of a trial and a credible police investigation. Fenton Bresler died in 2003 at the age of 74. The John Lennon assassination research community owe him a great debt of thanks.

Who Authorized The Assassination Of John Lennon?

On November 4, 1980, when John Lennon’s first album (Double Fantasy) in half a decade was climbing high on the charts, James Earl Carter became a lame duck President. I discovered a very interesting fact about the last three major assassinations in the United States. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., Robert Francis Kennedy and John Winston Lennon were all executed during the time of a lame duck Presidency.


The assassin was a brainwashed hit man carrying out someone else’s contract, writes Bresler, “he is in many ways as much the victim of those who wanted to kill John Lennon, as Lennon himself.”
The Manchurian MKULTRA candidate assassin dropped the gun and proceeded to take out a copy of J. D. Salinger’s Catcher in the Rye, and calmly started reading. The Dakota doorman, Jose Perdomo, shouted at the assassin, “Do you know what you’ve done?” “I just shot John Lennon,” he replied, accurately enough.


“He walked past me and then I heard in my head, ‘Do it, do it, do it,’ over and over again, saying ‘Do it, do it, do it,’ like that,” recalled in a BBC documentary several years after going to prison. “I don’t remember aiming. I must have done, but I don’t remember drawing a bead or whatever you call it. And I just pulled the trigger steady five times.” The assassin described his feeling at the time of the shooting as “no emotion, no anger dead silence in the brain.”


His unnatural tone sounded all-too-familiar for British lawyer and journalist Fenton Bresler, who wrote the book, Who Killed John Lennon? The assassin was a brainwashed hit man carrying out someone else’s contract, writes Bresler, “he is in many ways as much the victim of those who wanted to kill John Lennon, as Lennon himself.”


Prosecutors were at a loss for motive, so they opted for the cliché, the assassin did it for the attention. The troublesome American preoccupation with grabbing that elusive fifteen minutes propels many a daily-newspaper-journalist-cum-pop-sociologist into raptures of sanctimony. But Arthur O’Connor, the Detective who spent more time with the assassin immediately following the murder than anyone else, saw it another way.


“It is definitely illogical to say that [the assassin] committed the murder to make himself famous. He did not want to talk to the press from the very start. It’s possible somebody could have used him. I saw him the night of the murder. I studied him intensely. He looked as if he could have been programmed.”
Detective O’Connor was speaking to Bresler, and publicly for the first time. Bresler’s book, Who Killed John Lennon? — Offers the most cogent argument that the assassination of John Lennon was not the work of yet another “lone nut.”

Could The Man Jailed For John Lennon’s Murder Be Innocent?
New documentary says a second gunman could have fired fatal shots and questions whether killer Mark Chapman was brainwashed by CIA
The prosecution’s version of events, accepted by the courts, was that disturbed loner Chapman lay in wait for Lennon and shot five times, four of the bullets hitting his victim in the back. But this now appears to be riddled with contradictions. Instead Whelan’s witnesses suggest that the way the shooting was officially recorded may have been completely wrong – with the fatal shots fired into Lennon’s chest rather than back.

What Three Letters Of The Alphabet Link John Lennon’s Murder
To The Murders Of John F. Kennedy And Robert Kennedy?
The Sixties era officially ended just before 11:00 p.m. EST on December 8, 1980. That is when former Beatles member John Lennon, a major voice of the era’s social movement who wrote the peace anthems “Imagine” and “Give Peace a Chance,” was shot and killed just outside the Manhattan apartment that he shared with his wife, Yoko Ono, and five-year-old son Sean. Sean Lennon, John’s son, tellingly stated in 1998 that “pacifist revolutionaries are historically killed by the government, and anybody who thinks that Mark Chapman was just some crazy guy who killed my dad for his personal interests is insane. I think, or very naive…”
John Lennon’s loss was ultimately all of humanity’s. Future generations were deprived the music that would have come from Lennon’s genius. Lennon also might have helped revitalize the peace and justice movements of the 1960s and inspired new generations of activists.

John Lennon ‘Murdered By CIA-Trained Killer To Stop Ex-Beatle Radicalising Youth’ – Author
An earth-shattering book claims the CIA trained Mark David Chapman to kill iconic John Lennon in order to stifle the radicalization of the left and quash the anti-war movement.
Singer, songwriter, and Beatle, John Lennon didn’t meet his fate at the hands of a deranged fan, according to a book; instead, his killer received training from the CIA and other U.S. Intelligence agencies — and not for his music. Author John Potash claims the U.S. government wanted Lennon erased for his robust influence promoting what it deemed “radical leftist” ideologies. In essence, dissenting opinion coupled with massive popularity brought to fruition Lennon’s killing.

The CIA Murder Of John Lennon
The Catcher in the Rye of the present generation confronted his judge on January 6, 1981. The courtroom antics that followed were a macabre illustration of the principle that the cover-up proves the crime. Justice Herbert Altman asked how Mark David Chapman chose to plead. “Not guilty,” the prisoner — following the direction of his “voices” — responded. By law, the defendant decides the plea, guilty or not guilty by reason of insanity, one or the other, not the defense attorney. Nevertheless, Chapman’s attorney Jonathan Marks punctuated the plea ” … by reason of insanity.” The bench favored a motion from Marks to enlist three psychiatrists to provide opinions on Chapman’s mental competence to stand trial. The first was Dr. Milton Kline, a prestigious clinical psychiatrist, an authority on hypnosis from New York, [1] and an esteemed consultant to the CIA on the creation of programmed killers while president of the American Society for Clinical and Experimental Hypnosis, a true believer in the “Manchurian Candidate” killing concept who once boasted that he was capable of creating a hypnotically-driven patsy in three months, a mind-controlled assassin in six.

“I think all our society is run by insane people for insane objectives. I think we’re being run by maniacs for maniacal means. If anybody can put on paper what our government and the American government and the Russian, Chinese, what they are actually trying to do, and what they think they’re doing, I’d be very pleased to know what they think they’re doing. I think they’re all insane. But I’m liable to be put away as insane for expressing that. That’s what’s insane about it.”
John Lennon
